About this property
Big Sky Vacation Rentals: MVC Cardinal Sanctuary - Pet Friendly!
- Enjoy breathtaking Big Sky views and year-round outdoor living from the comfort of this cozy log cabin tucked in the woods. An ideal Big Sky home base for guests seeking comfort, convenience, and ample space for the whole crew, as well as your four-legged friends!
Boasting 3,000 sq ft of generous living space combining rustic elegance with modern amenities, no detail has been overlooked. Cooking for a crowd is easy in the well-equipped kitchen, meals around the table include Lone Peak views and they’ll be many nights spent around the toasty wood fireplace, after a rejuvenating sauna! A lower-level games room adds fun to the living space and is a great hang out spot for the teens.
The bedrooms are spacious, comfy, and well laid out giving everyone their own space, but it’s the outdoor living you’ll love. Surrounded by snow-covered peaks in the winter and meadows of wildflowers in spring, it’s all about the views. Take it all in from the porch swing; go for a starlit soak in the hot tub, or just kick back and catch up around the fire pit. You may even catch a glimpse of a friendly fox or resident moose, or perhaps the occasional bear at the mountain stream.
Cardinal Sanctuary is a haven in the pines yet in close proximity to the Big Sky Montana Resort's Mountain Village and Base Area, the perfect starting point, any time of year, for all your Big Sky adventures. Big Sky boasts 5,850 skiable acres of uncrowded slopes and thrilling outdoor summer activities and wilderness adventures. A true year-round Montana mountain resort.
